### Linux

#### Manual install

* unzip `wowlet-v0.2.0.0-x86_64-linux.zip`
* copy `wowlet` binary to bin folder (`/usr/bin`, `/usr/local/bin`, or `~/.local/bin`)
* copy org.wowlet.wowlet.desktop](https://git.wownero.com/wowlet/wowlet/raw/tag/v0.2.0.0/src/assets/org.wowlet.wowlet.desktop) to `/usr/share/applications` and [wowlet.png to `/usr/share/pixmaps`
* open wowlet from menu
* to uninstall: delete `.../bin/wowlet`, `/usr/share/applications/wowlet.desktop`, `~/.config/wowlet` and `/usr/share/pixmaps/wowlet.png`

This used to work for previous version, but the 3.0.0 had issue with my hardware and I got help here from the experts: https://forum.wownero.com/t/wowlets-linux-binary-crashes-on-non-avx-machines/848/16?u=trichom
 3.1.0 is not working for me again. I guess it is the same issue. The CLI works perfect, though.

Hello hello, I tried installing the GUI wallet using your advice and I managed to get everything into order etc. but the application still doesn't launch. Any ideas/advice as to how I can get it to launch?
I checked and I have an AVX machine. : P
